Posted: Sat Jun 10, 2006 12:31 pm Post subject: Hi Guys |
|
|
I just realized that I haven't introduced myself yet!
I live in Missoula Montana, a bit farthure east than most people here, but I know it's not an issue.
So anyway, I have a 91 T-Top Firebird with a 3.1L V6 that I bought with 99k miles in '02. I haven't been driving it for the last 2 years though after I installed a T5 to replace the 700R4. It's parked for now until I get a few things finished... mainly my fourth gen dash, black interior conversion and LS1 rear end.
My daily driver is a 1990 Chevy Blazer. It's full sized with a 350, working 4x4, automatic 700R4 transmission, posi rear and 260k miles. It runs perfect and has never even been rebuilt. Most people that see it think that it has less than 100k on it; it was babied by the original owner that I bought it from. I love it.
So uh yah, that's about it. I'll post some pics later if I can dig them out of my harddrive somewhere.

If you guys ever have one in Spokane count me in. I can't see myself driving all the way to the coast though, with the price of gas as it is. |

You planning on a swap for that Firebird, or are you going to leave the 6? |

This is the only one I could find, from last Autumn. I had some better ones awhile ago in the TGO Rides section, but I guess they're gone now.
As for the 3.1, I don't have any plans to change it out yet. |

EDIT* ok, not you're car, NM.

I'd be willing to bet it says FIREBIRD. The TAs got the TA tailigts/centersection. Unless it was an export model. |

Those plates look like some of the older California plates with that color scheme. |

in 91 they did, but it could be off an older trans am. in 86 a TA received a red one that looks just like that but said "trans am". it was the same size as the base lights center section. and as a 91 base/formie have the same lights as an 86 base bird they would fit. in fact i am prety sure my gold bird center piece on my GTA will fit on my 86s tails. not posative about that though.
EDIT* many states used that color combo. case in point...>

I forgot about that one, even seen it quite a few times. New Jersey also used a similar scheme. But that one still looks like California with a renewal sticker in each upper corner. |
